Theme development

Hello all. I *think* this is themes-related, because it deals with how Drupal displays content, but it is a little out there...

The theme I'm working on has an index page that contains different information from the other browsable pages on the site. I've already learned how to do this from a previous post... what I'm trying to figure out how is how to set up the php on the front page to "pick and choose" what information is displayed.

Essentially, I have set up two categories in the taxonomy area, "webcomics" and "news," under which everything else falls. "Webcomics" has three sub-categories for three individual webcomics.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

I want the content part of the front page divided into two areas: the top area will display *only* posts that are associated with one of the three sub-categories under "webcomics", whereas the bottom area will display *only* posts that are associated with "news."

Further, the top area will only display one day's worth of posts at a time. In other words, if on August 1st I posted three webcomics, one from each sub-category, all three webcomics would be displayed on the front page. If on August 2nd I only posted one webcomic from a single sub-category, only that webcomic would be displayed on the front page, and the comics posted the previous day would be accessible only from the archives.

Finally, the bottom area will display the five most recent posts associated with the "news" category, regardless of what the date is.

Hi

Is there way to move next/previous topic link place . So that attachments files will be before th next/previous topic links.

thx.

I'm pretty solid on CSS, but the Drupal templating is totally new to me. This is what my website should look like.

This is my website looks like in Drupal.

Hi All,

I'm admittedly new to CMS and drupal (although I ran a few simple classroom sites using 4.6, but nothing like I'm trying to do now).

I would like to use a simple graphic as the "name" for my site. Some templates allow for using logos, but I'm trying to use the channel_nine (beauty, simplicity, doesn't require much change). I tried to upload the logo, but it wouldn't fit, likely because it will require the alteration of the php template (something beyond my skills at this time - but I'm open to instructions).

Hi all you Drupalers!

I must say...I like this CMS. I've been working on building my first site for about 3 wks now...ran into a few issues (actually a lot) but I'm not frustrated or giving up because I really see the promise, flexibility, and learning that Drupal offers... Okay...with that said, my question.

Hi,

I'm new to Drupal but learning as much as I can. Although I can hide the search input button using CSS attribute selectors, for example:

input[type="submit"] {display: none}

this won't be supported by all browsers. What's the best (as in best practice, not best hack) way to hide this button (but leave the input field)?

Many thanks in advance.
